Governance

We continue to enhance corporate governance and to build and improve global, consolidated internal controls as part of its drive to become a company that maximizes long-term shareholders' value by improving the transparency of its management and earning the trust of its shareholders, investors, customers, suppliers, community, group employees, and other stakeholders.

We identify the most critical risks and critical risks, and we have established a system to manage and mitigate these risks, as well as business continuity planning (BCP) and information security. Additionally, we conduct serious accident response drills as part of our crisis management efforts.

To ensure that all officers and employees carry out their daily duties with a sound awareness of compliance, we conduct training and establish an internal reporting system, and work to ensure thorough compliance with laws and norms, including the Antitrust Laws.

Based on the belief that the promotion of mutual communication with shareholders and investors and the accumulation of such communication will lead to an appropriate evaluation of corporate value, we disclose the status of investor briefings and individual dialogues, as well as the opinions expressed through these dialogues and our efforts in response to these opinions.
